Thinking frugally...

Eeeeek! You know it's going to be a long week when you only have $35 to your name until this time next week...

This is going to require some out of the box thinking. Our meal plan for the week is currently being "padded" out by my very generous in-laws. So to repay some of the huge debt of gratitude I now owe them, I'm baking them a Christmas cake. My Christmas cake is no ordinary fruit cake. Nope, the only fruit it contains are dried dates! Mmmmmm love those dates! It also has copious macadamia nuts, almonds and lashings of dark chocolate. And brandy...lots and lots of brandy! (Or, as in the case of the other night, when you don't have brandy, IMPROVISE! Lol. Ours had Jack Daniels in it instead!)

About Me

Hawke's Bay born and bred, survived 4 years in Otago, 2.5 years in Wellington, about 13 years in the beautiful Hamilton before migrating with my hubby over the bridge to sunny Orewa. Still the gym loving crazy girl I always have been, though these days my time in class is rather limited!
